How to Make Southern Pride Sweet Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with shortening.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup water.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter!
